Date/Location: "It All Falls Down"; Monday, Oct 12th, Morning, 'bout 6.
Location: The foyer
Open to: Anyone who is silly enough to be up this early!
Involving: Lou, etc.
Whhhy did the train have to come so early?
“Mraaaw…!” complained the frazzled redhead. She held her wand hand out, conducting the heavy trunk behind her lazily. It didn’t -HAVE- to come so early, it really didn’t. It could’ve come in the middle of the day and Lou would’ve been happy enough. She had already missed over a month of school… what did one more day matter?
No, no no! Mother had objected. Early start on a Monday- that was how she was supposed to start early on in September. It was her brother’s health that had prevented her from reaching Hogwarts with the rest of the students. The August full moon had been rough on the poor kid, and while her mother had to work both days and nights, someone had to spend time watching him. Mixing his potions, changing his bandages and making him protein-rich meals. She’d even taken him to St. Mungos for a few days when he’d taken on a fever. And then there’d come the news from Hogwarts- about the cutting, or whatever had happened to that poor girl. And Mother had thrown a fit.
Apparently, she’d heard it from Madame Malkin at the shop, who’d heard it from Mrs. Ramone, who was Terrence Ramones mother. Terrence, of course, was a tiny little second year who was over-excitable and probably had blown everything out of proportion in the letter to his mother (Lou had politely shouted to her mother). But Kittius Prewett had relented and called the station at Hogsmeade to beg them to make sure that her daughter got to Hogwarts safely. The awkwardness of having to sit in the engineers cabin with only the engineer just because Kittius wanted to make sure that nothing would happen to her daughter, should the practically empty Hogwarts Express be attacked by ‘Those Evil People’ had been unbearable, made even more so by the fact that it was so damn early in the morning.
“Neh.” Lou politely informed the empty foyer, grabbing the back of her fat cats neck before he could escape off to pester the house elves or the owls, or whomever he was hungry enough to eat this morning. “C’mere. Nonono.”
“Mrow!” Cu complained and hissed spitefully.
“Be good, Schleppy, or you’ll not get any fried-foods for a m-m-mo-“ Lou failed a rather valiant attempt to stifle a yawn, “-month.”
